What is this screw and where can I get a bit for it?

I think it’s a line head female screw : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sc...

But it might just be a security Torx. I’m not really sure. The guides for this laptop mention a torx screw but no security bit.

I can’t find anything for it on iFixit or ebay. Game bits are external line head not internal.

That is indeed a torx security, I wouldn’t be able to tell you the size of it from the picture. We have torx security screws starting at TR6 to TR25.

Cheers, I've not seen the screw before. A bit more square sided than I thought.

Yeah I held up a few of our screws to the screen and was trying to figure out what it was. The edges are a bit square, but it matches up with a Torx Security almost 100%.
